I have 10 HD DTV DVR receivers that need to be controlled remotely from a different room. Is there anything in the market that I can buy to make it happen? Via PC or remote control or something like a panel? anything?.. Thanks More details 10 HD receivers, connected to one TV to check sources (TV channels) in separate rooms, and I want to be able to change channels on single receivers without affecting the other ones.

I guess it comes down to what kind of control you need. If each receiver drives a TV in a different room, RF is your friend. If you want to control multiple receivers from each room, you're probably looking at a pro system or the rather expensive (if you need one in each room) iPad option.

Some of this may come down to how the displays are connected. There are HDMI over CAT5e wall plates that have IR repeaters built in for under $32+S&H a set.
